SOLIDARITY (LUKE 9:12-13A)
As the day was drawing to a close, the Twelve approached Jesus and said, "Dismiss the
crowd so that they can go to the surrounding villages and farms and find lodging and provisions;
for we are in a deserted place here." He said to them, "Give them some food
yourselves."

"Solidarity" means that "we exercise compassion" as we listen and engage in
fostering the necessary communication and cultural skills among our priests, deacons,
religious, advocacy and outreach efforts. Sharing the gifts God has given to us, as individuals and
as a community, to help provide for the spiritual and temporal needs and aspirations of the Hispanic
community. Therefore, we are called to be with and among them, reaching out to them on their faith
journey, no matter how long they are with us, a month, a year, or a lifetime.

Core value: a compassionate solidarity that calls us to model Jesus’
unconditional love for one another.
